Product details
Overview
ISL6264CRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a two-phase buck core voltage controller with integrated 2A gate drivers, designed specifically for AMD Mobile Turion CPUs. It delivers up to 50A output current, supports 6-bit VID input (0.375V–1.55V), achieves ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature in active mode, and implements R3 Technology™ for ultra-fast transient response. It operates across -10°C to +100°C ambient and uses QFN-40 (6×6 mm) packaging.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6264CRZ-T datasheet, ISL6264CRZ-T pinout, ISL6264CRZ-T application, or ISL6264CRZ-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world efficiency curves (2-phase CCM / 1-phase diode emulation), differential remote sensing capability, and validated alternative options for AMD CPU power delivery designs.
Technical Context
The ISL6264CRZ-T employs R3 Technology™-a proprietary Robust Ripple Regulator modulator that synthesizes noise-free ripple current analogs and uses hysteretic comparators to determine PWM pulse widths. This enables lower output ripple and reduced phase jitter versus fixed-frequency PWM or conventional hysteretic controllers.
It supports dynamic phase adding/dropping via PSI_L control, enabling seamless transition between two-phase continuous conduction mode (CCM) at heavy load and single-phase diode emulation (DE) mode at light load. Current sensing is implemented via either lossless DCR or precision resistor methods, with NTC thermistor compensation for DCR drift.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar two-phase CPU core controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6268CRZ-T | Same R3 Technology™ architecture but supports Intel Mobile Pentium M/Core Duo VID tables; different VID mapping and PSI_L timing behavior | Designed for Intel platforms; not AMD VID-compatible; requires VID table reconfiguration and BIOS update | Select only for Intel-based designs; not drop-in for AMD Turion systems |
| RT8802AGQW | Two-phase controller with integrated drivers; supports 0.3–1.5V output but lacks differential remote sensing and NTC DCR compensation | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer notebooks; requires external sense resistors and has ±1.0% system accuracy | Acceptable for non-critical AMD platforms where die-level accuracy is relaxed; verify load-line compliance separately |
Compared with ISL6264CRZ-T, ISL6268CRZ-T offers identical performance but Intel-specific VID logic, while RT8802AGQW trades remote sensing and thermal compensation for lower cost-making ISL6264CRZ-T the only option meeting AMD Turion's full specification for accuracy, transient response, and thermal adaptability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ISL6264CRZ-T?
The ISL6264CRZ-T is rated for −10°C to +100°C ambient temperature operation, with junction temperature limits up to +125°C. This range aligns with mobile computing thermal environments and is validated per FN6359 Rev 3.00 specifications. The device maintains ±0.5% system accuracy across this full range in active mode, making ISL6264CRZ-T suitable for fanless or thermally constrained laptop designs.
Does the ISL6264CRZ-T support differential remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the ISL6264CRZ-T provides dedicated VSEN and RTN pins for differential remote sensing, enabling direct measurement of CPU die voltage. This feature compensates for PCB trace resistance and ensures ±0.5% regulation accuracy at the load point-not just at the VRM output. Verified in Figure 1 and functional description on page 6 of FN6359, this capability is essential for compliance with AMD Mobile Turion voltage specifications.
How does the ISL6264CRZ-T handle phase shedding and mode transitions?
The ISL6264CRZ-T uses the PSI_L signal to initiate smooth transitions between two-phase CCM and one-phase diode emulation (DE) modes. When PSI_L is asserted low, it disables one phase while maintaining current sharing and load-line integrity. Mode transitions are managed by internal R3 Technology™ algorithms that preserve synthesized ripple continuity-verified in Figures 24–27 of FN6359. No external sequencing is required for ISL6264CRZ-T.
What current sensing methods does the ISL6264CRZ-T support?
The ISL6264CRZ-T supports both lossless inductor DCR sensing and precision resistor sensing, with dedicated ISEN1 and ISEN2 inputs for per-phase monitoring. For DCR sensing, a single NTC thermistor network compensates copper resistance drift across temperature-detailed in Figure 2 and Theory of Operation (page 15). Resistor sensing is implemented as shown in Figure 3, using matched sense resistors for each phase.
Is the ISL6264CRZ-T RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the ISL6264CRZ-T is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, using 100% matte tin (e3) termination finish and RoHS-compliant molding compounds. Its reflow profile meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements for lead-free soldering, and thermal data (θJA = 32°C/W, θJC = 4°C/W) is specified for the Pb-free QFN package-confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section (page 2) of FN6359.
